AI Contract Overview

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), through its Office of Technology and Information Management, is seeking to procure various IT equipment including hardware and peripherals from specific manufacturers—Dell, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Logitech, and NEC. This procurement will be conducted under the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract, allowing multiple prime vendors to compete. Although multiple distributors are available within the SEWP contract vehicle, this acquisition is restricted to the specified brand names due to the agency’s existing IT infrastructure and support capabilities. The justification for limiting competition to these brands is based on FHFA’s current reliance on equipment from these manufacturers, with staff trained extensively in their products. Introducing other brands would increase administrative burden, require additional staffing, and create delays due to the need for new IT standards and procedures. Maintaining a uniform set of equipment ensures compatibility, simplifies maintenance, and allows for quick substitution of faulty devices, thereby enabling the agency to operate efficiently and meet its technology requirements without disruption. The solicitation, identified as FHF-12-Q-0562_NASASEWP_142622, is managed from Washington, DC, with Timothy N. Reschke serving as the point of contact.

Full Description

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (Brand Name Justification) In accordance with FAR 11.105 (a) (3), the following brand name justification is hereby provided for public dissemination. NOTE: This requirement will be competed under the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) to Groups A, B, C and D. All prime vendors under Groups A, B, C and D of the NASA SEWP contract will be given a fair opportunity to compete. The NASA SEWP RFQ Number is 142622. 1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND SUPPLIES: The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Office of Technology and Information Management (OTIM) has a requirement for the purchase various IT equipment (hardware and associated peripherals) specifically manufactured by Dell, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Hewlett Packard (HP), Logitech and NEC for use by FHFA users and examiners in the Dallas Office 2. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: FAR 6.302-1 (c) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, application for brand name descriptions. 3. RATIONALE SUPPORTING USE OF AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE: (Note: A redacted copy of the full Brand Name Justification is attached.) This requirement is for specific brand name equipment. Although this requirement is brand specific to Dell, Cisco, HP, Logitech and NEC, multiple distributors are available to quote on a competitive basis under the NASA SEWP multiple award contract vehicle. Brand Name Justification: FHFA currently uses Dell, Cisco, HP, Logitech and NEC manufactured servers, monitors, keyboards, printers, firewalls, phones, access points, security systems, displays and peripherals. The current FHFA's IT support staff is trained and has significant experience with these product lines. The incorporation of additional brand names and devices would likely increase FHFA's administrative burden in managing a more diverse IT infrastructure. FHFA will require additional staff to support the multiple brand names within the network environment. FHFA has a limited number of system engineers / server support staff that are trained and have significant experience with Dell, Cisco, HP, Logitech and NEC equipment. Further, a change in brand name requires establishing new IT standards, images, and standard operating procedures, which would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. Retaining a standard, uniform line of equipment allows FHFA the ability to substitute malfunctioning equipment with identical functioning equipment to avoid issues related to compatibility and functionality. The standardization of equipment also improves FHFA's ability to provide support as it promotes an experience base familiar with supporting these items.
